1 - Everyone loves a Wago 221
Well, almost everyone! Hank and Chuck across the pond in the USA still view them with suspicion when compared to wire nuts. While they argue over this time saving innovation, they clock up hours and hours watching this video.
2 - EV chargers aren't just expensive outdoor sockets
We opened up an electric vehicle charger and found a few surprises. This market is moving fast, and this model is now becoming obsolete as smart units became almost essential from July 2019.
3 - On a mission
A trip to CEF Live in June yielded some exciting new products. How many of them will become installer favourites?
4 - Unicorn hunting
We eventually tracked down a unicorn device, an EV charger which doesn't need an earth rod. No earth rod is just one of the many useful features inside this Zappi charger.
5 - Back to basics
It's sometimes the unloved innovations which capture the imagination. Every day 25 people watch this video.
6 - Earthy debate
If you've ever wondered what all the fuss is about connecting EV chargers to TNCS supplies, this video does a great job in explaining the problem. Stay tuned in 2020 to see what makes it into BS7671 amendment one.
7 - Sounds easy
These Lithe Audio Bluetooth speakers are one of the most popular products on our youtube channel and at our Live Feed events.
8 - First fix finds
A round up of products to help save time during first fix installs.
9 - Inside the factory
We always wanted to know how you make a cable. In our first factory visit, we saw the full process from raw copper and plastic to a new type of armoured cable.
10 - Staple diet
At last, a tool to speed up fixing cables. This Dewalt cable stapler lept the pond earlier in the year. A divisive piece of kit will it be a hit or miss in 2020?
11 Wago 221.
A mixed bag of innovations for use with armoured cable. This collection of products caused a few disagreements in the team and our youtube viewers.
12 Fit for purpose
We prised apart a surge protection device to see what's inside and how they work.
13 -As seen on TV - Dragons' Den star
Richard popped in to see us at our Live Feed event in Rotherham. Find out the amazing story behind his invention.
14 Lost connection
The start of a losing streak for Gary, as he goes head to head with Joe in a junction box race.
15 - Watertight
We get the hose out and see how electrical products are tested to ensure they keep water and dust out.
16 Magic switch
How does it work? A switch without wires or batteries.
17 - Flexible friend
Buried deep in the datasheets of Doncaster cables we found a more flexible type of meter tails. Could this be the best-kept secret of 2019?
18 On tour in Italy
We reveal the hidden details and processes which are involved in making a plug and socket.
19 Relaxed Youtuber
The most laid back contender on our Apprentice Wall challenge and he still chalks up an impressive time!
